Thanks to the first volunteer fire department organized in Philadelphia by Benjamin Franklin the volunteer fire department was born in 1736, and 275 years later, volunteer firefighters are still responding to fires and other emergencies nationally.

And right now, the Fairfield Glade Fire Department is looking for volunteers who are willing to make a commitment to our community.

The Fairfield Glade Fire Department has openings for new firefighters experienced, or those with no experience. They train all new firefighters at their own training center. They have a two story 1,600 sq ft container and a live fire burn container that they use for training, and meet all the requirements of the NFPA and the Tennessee Fire commission, plus using the Tennessee Fire Academy in Bell Buckle, TN for specialized training.

There are some benefits with joining and become a volunteer in our community. if you are interested in learning more about the Fairfield Glade Fire Department, please contact Chief Howard Robb by phone 931-484-3801 or E-Mail at [email protected]
